The metabolic syndromewas detected according to the NCEP-ATP III protocol.

The data was analyzed in SPSS 16and the frequency and percentage was calculated. Results: Total one hundred patients withmetabolic syndrome were evaluated for serum ferritin level during the study period. The mean±SD for age of patients with metabolic syndrome was 52.73±7.83 while the mean age ±SDof patient with raised ferritin level was 50.23±8.21.
